So in a bow to Tenants and Workers United, Arlington is going to request dropping out of Secure Communities despite the fact (admitted by the illegal alien pandering police department, no less) that the program helps ensure that the identities of illegal aliens arrested for violations of state or local law are confirmed, and that they’re not wanted for other crimes. Demonstrated public safety benefits are thus deliberately subverted in order to pursue a political agenda favorable to illegal aliens. Oh, the benefits of “hope and change,” where illegal aliens are protected from facing the consequences of their unlawful behavior while American citizens are subjected to the full force of the Rule of Law.

The Arlington County Board of Supervisors voted unanimously in favor of a resolution to withdraw from the federal Secure Communities program, saying that it is not the role of Arlington’s law enforcement to enforce federal immigration laws.

The program is an agreement between the federal government and 26 states where local law enforcement agencies send fingerprints of individuals they arrest to be checked against the FBI’s national criminal database and the Department of Homeland Security’s immigration database.

The resolution, introduced by board member J. Walter Tejada, directs the county manager to notify Immigration and Customs Enforcement and the Virginia State Police of the county’s intent.

Arlington County became the second jurisdiction in the nation to vote to opt out of the program. Earlier Tuesday, the county board in Santa Clara, Calif., also voted against the program.

To be consistent, Arlington should announce it’s intention to stop participating in the enforcement of any federal laws such as kidnapping, bank robbery, medicaid fraud, federal hate crimes and the hundreds of other federal statutes that local law enforcement regularly investigates on behalf of federal authorities. Really, if Arlington is going to avoid accusations that it simply is picking and choosing what crimes it wants to address for political reasons, it should adopt a policy that it will only take efforts to enforce state and local law. Can’t the same argument that lifting a finger to prevent illegal immigration could cause people not to report crimes also be said about investigating violations of the federal Violence Against Women Act, which could suppress crime reporting by persons who just might incidentally beat the stuffing out of their live-in girlfriends when they get drunk? Aren’t their crime reports just as worthy?

There’s a special beauty about the leftists, that seem to think that because of the special and unique enlightenment they possess they’re qualified to determine which laws should be enforced and which should be ignored, regardless of the pesky legislators that enact those laws. Somehow that precious enlightenment always leads them to the conclusion that certain potentially like-minded groups should be shielded from the law so resources can be devoted to prosecute non-like-minded individuals. It supposedly leads to more resource efficiency, and potentially more political power.

Well, if there’s one argument that can be made about the wisdom of the Dillon Rule in Virginia that only allows localities to take those actions expressly permitted by the General Assembly, this might be it. Simple things like equal protection of the law would be a lot harder to maintain without it when you have localities governed by neo-communists like the Central Arlington Hatchery and Conditioning Centre Administrator, Walter Tejada.

You can find supporters of child rapists everywhere these days, including in the “law enforcement” offices of Arlington County.

I wonder if they would take it so easy on cop killers, or if they would just ignore one of their family members who was a victim of a crime committed by an illegal. Typical elite out of touch liberals.

I am actually surprised this morning that ICE announced a decision one month before the Mid-Term elections that local communities can’t opt out of federal immigration enforcement program.

The Obama administration is making it virtually impossible for Arlington County, the District and other jurisdictions to refuse to participate in a controversial immigration enforcement program that uses fingerprints gathered by local law enforcement agencies to identify illegal immigrants.

Interesting reading would be this “want list” presented to our governor in 2004 by the Latino Advisory Commission, Mr. Walter Tejada - Chairperson, for special interest access to Virginia tax dollars.

“We narrowed the areas of discussion to seven, including business, education, health, identification, language access, law enforcement and representation of Latinos in Government. We reviewed the issues, and initially arrived at 74 recommendations”

One has to ask “what’s left?”

One of the many our elected officials have caved into.

‘Explore new ways to leverage state and local funds with private and federal funds to meet the growing health needs of our communities’

To put this into perspective, the surrender documents of both Germany and Japan at the end of WWII Were not this long.

The Inter-Press Sevice (IPS) is reporting that the head administrator of the Mexican Superintendency of Tax Administration, Raul Diaz, has confirmed that his government is building a wall in the state of Chiapas, along the Mexican/Guatemalan border.

The official reason is to stop contraband from coming into Mexico, but as Diaz admitted: “It could also prevent the free passage of illegal immigrants.”

According to Mexico’s National Commission on Human Rights, 500,000 people from Central America cross into Mexico illegally every year.

Just as Mexican authorities have opposed the construction of a fence by the U.S., along our border with their country, Mexico is now receiving a great deal of criticism from the Guatemalan government.

The executive coordinator of the National Bureau for Migration in Guatemala, Marila de Prince, told a local newspaper: “It is not a correct measure being taken by the Mexican government.”

Erick Maldonado, executive secretary of Guatemala’s National Council on Migrants said: “We are watching the Mexican government’s initiative with concern because the migrants are in a situation of highest vulnerability, as demonstrated by the massacre in Tamaulipas, where five Guatemalans died.”

Maldonado said the wall “is going to make the migrants’ situation worse, because to meet their needs they are always going to find blind points where there are no migration or security controls, which implies greater risks.”

Vice-President of Guatemala, Rafael Espada, said: “The walls are not the solution to the problems.”

The Catholic Church has been highly critical of U.S. treatment of illegal aliens, and one priest in Central America used the news of the Mexican wall to take another shot at the American people.

Father Francisco Pellizari, of the Casa del Migrante told IPS: “The dramatic increase in the cost of ‘polleros’ (human traffickers) and the corruption of the authorities is the result of the walls the United States plans to build and has built along the border. We can transpose the Guatemala case to this situation and the results will be the same.”

Peliizari said border walls “are supposedly intended to halt migration, but that hasn’t happened. Instead they have triggered an economic hemorrhage and a shift in the migratory flow to inhospitable routes that lead to thousands of deaths.”

Gunmen presumed to be Mexican drug gangsters opened fire Wednesday on a couple riding personal watercraft on the binational Falcon Lake reservoir, striking the husband in the head and chasing his frantic wife into U.S. waters.
Zapata County Sheriff Sigifredo Gonzalez said the McAllen tourists were exploring the area around Old Guerrero, a once-submerged town on the Mexican side of the lake, when they came under a spray of bullets by two boatloads of men.
David Michael Hartley, 30, was shot in the head. His wife, Tiffany Hartley, 29, circled back to pull her husband onto the watercraft, using it as a shield, but the gunmen continued shooting at her, even after she crossed back to the U.S. side, Gonzalez said. …
He said an independent witness corroborated the attack and its incursion into U.S. waters.
“He saw where the Mexican boats were still chasing her, and I’m not talking just a few feet, I’m talking half a mile, maybe even a mile into the United States. They were chasing her,” Gonzalez said.
“They have no regard for international boundaries. They’ve got no regard for law enforcement. They don’t care,” he added. “The border’s wide open. Contrary to what Secretary (Janet) Napolitano says, the border’s wide open.”
Mexican pirates often prey on Americans on Falcon Lake. Sometimes they are dressed as Mexican law enforcement officers. Texas had better not do anything about it, or the Obama Administration will unleash a flurry of lawsuits on behalf of the invaders, like it did in Arizona.

Anjem Choudary, the guy who voiced his totalitarian wet dream regarding flying the flag of Islamic sharia governance over the White House:

“Choudary, calls the 9/11 bombers “magnificent people carrying out their Islamic responsibility”, and declared there will be “blood on the streets of London and New York”.

“Democracy is where people decide the Law. Only Allah can do that. So ultimately democracy although having many nuances is haram [forbidden] for Muslims. We are people who submit to the divine text rather than decide for ourselves what is good or what is bad. We believe that hakimiyyah [sovereignty] belongs to Allah alone. He is the only legislator, and so Allah alone is the one who says what should be done”.

Down throughout the centuries an endless stream of people like Anjem Choudary consistently add credence to the statement made by Byzantine emperor Manuel II Paleologus,

“Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached”.

One needs only to witness the rabid over reaction throughout the Muslim world when Pope Benedict XVI repeated the statement in a lecture on faith and reason in 2006. The wishy-washy statement from the White House at the time might as well have been included in the speeches of our current Presidents world Islamic apology tour.

Illegal immigration and the Islamic threat are two priorities our federal government has failed to draw a hard line on and deliver a consistent strong message against. The weak and misleading messages from both congress and presidents alike have only fueled the fire and escalated the resolve of those who work to undermine our American way of life.

“Choudary, who has no formal Islamic qualifications or right to call himself a “sharia judge” as he does, first came to public attention 10 years ago when he was linked to the recruitment of Muslim trainees leaving Britain to fight abroad, training that involved “guns and live ammunition”, he said at the time. He has since organized more camps, protests and marches, shared platforms with terrorist fundraiser’s and said Lord Mandelson would be stoned to death for being gay.

So far, so Spooks. But the funniest thing is that he wasn’t always like this. Former friends recall how, as a student at Southampton University, Andy — as he was then known — led a typical undergraduate life, downing pints, smoking dope, ogling porn and sleeping with Christian girls: grave crimes under sharia. Photographs show him swigging booze and reading Mayfair. What made him see the light? Oddly, Choudary, a qualified solicitor, isn’t keen to say.

It turns out he’s not up for discussing his benefits, either. Last week it was revealed that the jobless Ilford-based father of four, who is allegedly separated from his wife, claims £25,740 annually from the state, a detail that rather undermines his line about the awfulness of Britain, a place he describes as a “dictatorship in which the majority are dictating on the minority”. He is no fan of democracy but feels the ban is an infringement of free speech, that Britain is a place of “alcohol, free mixing, the man and the woman are not covering properly in the public arena, exploitation of the gender through promiscuity, homosexuality and fornication, gambling, usury . . .”

He is allowed to do so under Islam to deceive the non Muslim. Funny how that works, isn’t it?

As the below document makes clear, Southern Poverty Law Center is Now Officially Part of DHS.
The CEO of SPLC now sits on the DHS “Working Group on Countering Violent Extremism” along with the leaders of other So-called Non Government Organizations but can we really call them such now that they are part of the government?

And select “law enforcement” officers such as the Clark County Nevada Sheriff, Doug Gillespie. What does the working group do?

Make recommendations on training and how to use all of the local resources – police, social services, media, NGO’s, you name it – to fight “extremism. So, now no need to file a FOIA request to discover that SPLC is writing the reports naming constitutionalists as possible terrorists.

Now it is in your face and the mask is off.

When you read the below document, keep in mind the current ordeal of the Irish family where their newborn baby was taken based on an affidavit that notes the father’s “association with a militia group known as Oath Keepers.”. Pay attention to who sits on this panel see pages 26-30, to who DOESN’T, how they plan on reaching DHS tentacles down into every level of society, and how they talk overtly about the need to utilize local SOCIAL WELFARE and MENTAL HEALTH agencies to counter “violent extremism.”.

In other words, what is now being done to the Irish family will be done all over. This is the overt politicization of DHS, to use it against political enemies
